Gothamite Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Can we get back on topic guys. This is a Hornets thread not a Nets thread.Not to worry. One little unveiling and the thread'll turn purple again. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadojoker Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 So Mccall you are also saying that the Pelicans uni set looks great? ?! I think it is good but SUPER UNDERWHELMING! No risk no reward. Too many teams playing it safe nowadays. Its ok only if it fits the right teams aka Celtics, Spurs, Knicks..but Brooklyn or even New Orleans have soo much inspiration to draw from to execute so bland. that is why they are boring to me. I love the 90s uniforms but there were a number of teams that went overboard but most are classic throwbacks now. Hawks, Suns, Jazz, I can go on. I love the Grant Hill pistons too but I know thats probably me and Teal demographic lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadojoker Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Sry to revert to Nets but im 100% sure the Hornets new jersey sets won't disappoint or be labeled boring as Brooklyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Wow - I couldn't agree more. And though I haven't been a basketball fan in decades, the atmosphere at Barclays Center almost convinced me to take it up again. Electric crowd paying rapt attention to every moment. People I was with told me that was more common than not. So I would say you're wrong on multiple counts there.Granted, I'm judging from the TV broadcasts, so maybe it's different in person, but it just doesn't seem very loud in there, and I really dislike the forced "BROOOOOK-LYNNNN" chants.

Brooklyn opted for a more traditional style that they can maintain over a number of years if they so choose.There are a number of styles out there and they chose traditional. I don't get why you guys are saying this was wrong for them. It actually works perfectly for a team in Brooklyn, https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The first iteration of the New Orleans Hornets was a good example of how a modern team can do a novel color palette without being contrived or overboard. I don't think that's so much to ask. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcane Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 somehow the Hornets Nest got mixed up with Brooklyn Nets @https://twitter.com/ArcaneNLSC @https://twitter.com/ArcaneApparel https://www.facebook.com/ArcaneTeamApparel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadojoker Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I agree with you Mccall. Good points. Im just saying that they gave so much culture or inspiration (Bridge, Dodgers obviously etc,) I just expected more closely to Golden State sans the logo on the chest. But understand what you mean by timeless and traditional. But that should be reserved for older teams Imo but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applaud Brooklyn for trying something like that; I like it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ror1997 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The Nets' identity is dull and boring (just like their team and the atmosphere at Barclays, really) and they missed a great opportunity to go with a subway signage theme.You have obviously never seen a Net game then. The crowd gets into it, gets loud, and the "Brooooooklyn" chant will give you chills and is easily a top 5 chant in the league.Case and Point- The Brooklyn chant at MSG yesterday.

I'm not a fan of teams completely rebranding their colors as I feel it destroys the value and history of the name, but with the Nets leaving the navy, red, & white on the table, that opens the door for New Jersey to comeback with the old ABA Americans team name and colors.You're really presuming that New Jersey will get another team?Don't count out the Sixers as a candidate to make the move. Their owner now owns the Devils, and while I'm not sure what the details of the lease are, Comcast only keeps them around to fill TV time but since nobody watches, I'm sure a buyout could be worked out. Comcast relegates them to other channels anyway now when there's conflicts with the Flyers. An expansion team may be the best hope for Philadelphia pro basketball at this point.

And please, no one compare it to Seattle to OKC. Philly is a MUCH bigger market than Seattle and NJ is much smaller than OKC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides "MVP"...Just youtubed the Brooklyn chant. It didn't give me chills, mainly because it's not that good or creative. Just "Brooklyn" over and over. Nothing really awesome about it. I'm guessing you're in HS, ror, and think it's the best thing ever. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

justin23iu Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 It's so annoying how every thread here gets hijacked. Someone makes an offhanded, off-topic remark and the floodgates open. Is there any way to keep this to Hornets related news/comments only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 What do you all think about this idea...An alternate logo, with Hugo donning the Air Jordan pose. (Much like the Oregon Duck one found here: http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/96837-oregon-nike-jumpduck/)Ehh? Ehh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 That's a pretty clever idea on its surface, but now we're getting into the Bobcats pretending they're the Hornets pretending they're the Bulls and in the words of a great song on a bad album, it's all too much. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
